From guest rooms filled with fashion designer Christian Louboutin’s personal antique collection to Ibiza’s oldest hotel where handmade masks are mounted on the walls, our latest lookbook features eight eclectic hotel interiors.
Eclectic design brings together objects and styles from a range of sources – often mixing contemporary and vintage pieces.
While many hotels are characterised by uniform luxury, others celebrate unlikely combinations of furniture, colours and patterns.
Here are eight eclectic hotel interiors from around the world defined by contrasts and clashes.
This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring residential mezzanines, Mexican holiday homes and minimalist bathrooms.

Montesol Experimental, Ibiza, by Dorothée Meilichzon
Dorothée Meilichzon of French interior design studio Chzon renovated Montesol – the oldest hotel in Ibiza, originally built in the 1930s.

Austin Proper Hotel and Residences, USA, by Kelly Wearstler
Among the Proper Hotel Group’s other locations is an Austin branch. Wearstler inserted a sculptural oak staircase into the lobby that doubles as a plinth for a varied collection of glazed earthenware pots and vases.
Locally sourced art and textiles characterise the hotel, which has cypress wood walls that were charred using the traditional Japanese technique of Shou Sugi Ban to create a tiger-striped effect.

Hôtel de la Boétie, France, by Beata Heuman
Swedish designer Beata Heuman created the Hôtel de la Boétie in Paris to be “a bit like a stage set”.
Heuman chose contrasting elements for the colour-drenched interiors. Bedrooms feature a mixture of dark-hued woven headboards and pale pink sheets, while downstairs, the reception area’s jumbo flower lamps balance the steely silver of the lounge walls.

Château Royal, Germany, by Irina Kromayer
A series of eclectic spaces make up the Château Royal in Berlin, which references the heyday of the German capital at the turn of the 20th century.
Interior architect Irina Kromayer designed the hotel to be “authentic” rather than retro, choosing art noveau tiles and brass and nickel hardware in a nod to the finishes commonly found in Berlin’s historic buildings.
